Read the passage from chapter 1 of Animal Farm. Unfortunately, the uproar awoke Mr. Jones, who sprang out of bed, making sure that there was a fox in the yard. He seized the gun which always stood in a corner of his bedroom, and let fly a charge of Number 6 shot into the darkness. The pellets buried themselves in the wall of the barn and the meeting broke up hurriedly. Everyone fled to his own sleeping-place. The birds jumped onto their perches, the animals settled down in the straw, and the whole farm was asleep in a moment. Which detail from the passage best supports the idea that Mr. Jones is a reckless farmer? "the uproar awoke Mr. Jones, who sprang out of bed" "Everyone fled to his own sleeping-place." "making sure that there was a fox in the yard" "let fly a charge of Number 6 shot into the darkness"

    The detail from the passage of "Animal Farm", by George Orwell, that best supports the idea that Mr. Jones is a reckless farmer is "let fly a charge of Number 6 shot into the darkness". Mr. Jones runs the Manor Farm before the animals take control, and name it Animal Farm. He is often drunk. He is unkind to the animals who lack food. He represents Tsar Nicholas II, who had to leave power when the Revolution ousted him.

    The detail from the passage that best supports the idea that Mr. Jones is a reckless farmer is the fact that he "let fly a charge of Number 6 shot into the darkness," because it represents his authority over all the members of the farm. Far from measuring the consequencess, his first act after springing out of bed was to prove his power by shooting into the darkness.
